LET's PLAY HANGMAN!
Rules
❏ We will play 10 rounds on different topics. I will disclose the topic and let you choose levels for each round: Easy (2 points), Medium (5 points), Hard (7 points)
❏ You need to guess letters for each game depending on the letters of your book title. You can guess as many letters as you want in a round as long as you have it in your book
❏ Each incorrect guess brings you closer to being "hanged." If you guess too many incorrect letters and get hanged you won't get any points for that round.
❏ For each round, you can ask for hints. Each hint will deduct 0.5 points from that round. So for an easy round, you can take a maximum of 4 hints. If you take a hint and fail the round, no points will be deducted from your overall pool, you just won't get any points for that round.
❏ You can guess the final answer when you have less than 5 dashes left! But if you get it wrong, you will get 3 hangman dashes
❏ You have 10 hangman tries for each round!
